candid quote of the day

What I’m reading is that Sabbahi is actually in first place in Cairo and Giza, but not by enough to get into the top two for the runoff. Estimated final figures look like they’ll end up with Morsi at 5.5 million, Shafiq at 5.4 million, and Sabbahi at around 4.8 million (assuming the leaked figures from judicial election observers are accurate for Cairo and Giza).

Then there is this:

“18:25 Ahmed Khairy, the official spokesman of the liberal Free Egyptians Party, described the expected two-horse race between Mohamed Mursi and Ahmed Shafiq for Egypt’s presidential seat as ‘the worst-case scenario.’

Khairy branded the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mursi as an ‘Islamic fascist’ and former prime minister Shafiq as a ‘military fascist.'”
